Wow, there are so many sad stories being told here today. This RB edition has really brought out the emotions. Usually RB is good for a bittersweet laugh. This one has certainly stirred up a need to tell one’s own personal heartbreaking story about scientology.

This evil predatory invention of Hubbard has simply been getting away with its inhuman actions for far too long. “Beautiful religion”, my ass… Tom Cruise, you are a real sucker and a useful idiot for Miscavige, you know that?

So come on governments and law enforcement. Raid these assholes, and please help make some dreams come true:

1. David Miscavige, and his partners in crime, charged for well-known and reported crimes against humanity.
2. Removal of tax exempt status for the inhumane and predatory cult scientology.

RB, thank you for this. I didn’t laugh this time. To tell the truth, I congealed inside, reading it. You’ve depicted a true to life discussion between a Still In Scientology couple. It saddened and disturbed me, but, no matter. They’re going back and forth, working their way toward the correct answers…I feel like I want to strangle them and say, “Hurry UP! Don’t you SEE?” But never mind, this is how most realizations occur between people who are in a relationship – if they occur. I suppose that’s the sad part. In any event you offer up here a slice of real life in the cult to be confronted, That’s valuable.

I wait for the day when the FBI grabs the Mighty Mouth and makes him do the Perp Walk on his way to the Penitentiary with great anticipation.

I’d like to ask one question of everyone who has made a comment.

Mighty Mouth seems to have exclusive access to $1 Billion.

I have read speculation as to why Hubbard never scooped up all the money he could and go into hiding. But what about DM? If he believe the FBI would be serving him with an arrest warrant in the next few days, do you think he would stand and fight? Or would he grab as much of that money as he could and go into hiding somehow?

He would need to lengthen his body by a foot or two. As it stands he is far too short and that makes him very easy to spot in a crowd. There are many countries that do not have extradition treaties with the USA. How would he enjoy life hiding out in one of those countries without anyone around he can beat or intimidate? Would he be able to handle that? Or would it drive him nuts and would he feel the need to turn himself in and handle his own defense in some crazy trial? Can you just imagine him going “pro se”?

Here is a link to an article discussing the legal term “pro se”. It means when someone charged with a crime chooses to defend themselves.

If I recall correctly, the organization is practiced in buying property under aliases. It is also practiced at hiding large sums of cash in various banks around the world. While Corncob may have an escape plan in place, things would have to be pretty bad for him to activate it. JMO

He has been hiding for years. He was so scared of his underlings that any perceived threat was attacked, thrown in the hole, and like a banana republic tinpot dictator, he attempted to squash his imagined threats. Didn’t work out for him, did it?

His cowardice is definitely his undoing. Imagine if he had been a grown up? I wonder what stunted his cerebral growth? Steroids taken while still a child? Nicotine abuse as a child? Who knows.

If he hadn’t stepped on Mike Rinder, a perceived threat… or if he hadn’t “disappeared” his own wife, which lead to the Tom Cruise wedding debacle with Leah Remini … the “inch” wives on Anderson Cooper resulting in the JB’s blowing … dispatching Tommy Davis to spin lies on television interviews, with an intelligent Paul Haggis catching all the lies … there are countless stories like this.

Basically if Miscavige had been an adult, and hadn’t personally ignited many separate chains of events, like destructive dominos, his current disgrace might never have happened.

On a different note – I’ve been telling people not to count on the religious right to be of much assistance in helping to harness CoS influence – the same legal and legislative principles and acts apply to both. Eventually they might turn on them, but certainly not as long as they can mutually benefit. The primary founding principle of separation of church and state is being eroded.

On one hand, that gives religions more latitude to influence politics. However, it might also be a case for taxing them. But again, don’t look for the religious right to be an ally on that issue either.

Yes, I have stated this several times too. As much as they might hate scientology they see them as cannon-fodder on the front lines. As long as scientology is safe, so are they. They fear scientology (and other fringe groups) set bad precedents that can then be applied to them. It’s the “slippery slope” and thus they fight to defend politically and legally scientology and other groups they are inherently idealogically opposed to.

The repeal of the Johnson Act is a bad thing.

Wynski and others argued that “the Democrats have been violating the law” so now let’s make it OK for the right wing to do so too (no doubt they were violating it as well). It’s an argument that persuades me of nothing.

The idea of legalizing secret political contributions and making them tax exempt is horrendous.

If churches want to lobby, they should be allowed to do so. But they should not be exempt or outside disclosure laws.

FALSE Mike. I never called for violating any law. I stated that per the Equal protection clause the law should be deleted by congress or rewritten otherwise some Fed judge could strike the entire thing based on the Dems refusing to equally apply it.

You said the law should be changed so that it was legal for everyone because “the Dems” had been violating the law. I didnt say you advocated violating the law. The exact opposite. That you wanted it made LEGAL by banishing the Johnson Amendment.

I like your style “Rindah”. It has to be agony some days for you to be in a room of virtual random “porcupines” smoothing quills with aplomb. I read your personal story today for the first time. I would like to extend my personal condolences and heartfelt sympathies for all you endured. Your desire to help others is inspirational. May You, Christie and Jack have an excellent Holiday Season and KNOW that you have more support than you KNOW! 😉

I am considered part of the religious right and I have no problem with supporting the end of Scientology and tax exemption. If somebody wants to donate to a church I see no reason why it should be hidden if you don’t want your name to appear anywhere then don’t donate. I don’t think political contributions should be tax-exempt or hidden either and again if you don’t want your name listed then don’t donate. Wishing you and Leah and all of your contributors and brave guests a very Merry Christmas…My best to all of your families and prayers that all of the families will be reunited soon.

Bravo, Gail! Thanks for sharing your own viewpoint as regards this issue. Hopefully your fair and common sense viewpoint is shared by others who are part of the religious right, and that the RR’s leaders and spokespeople duly take note.

Spot on RB. I know someone still in who was raped as a tween by her cousin, a Sea Org member. She divulged in her sessions what happened by never told the police. When she asked her cousin what was done to handle him he said, “My amends was getting you in scientology.” I’d love to call authorities with that story by I know my “friend” (now in her 50’s) would say it wasn’t true.

Yes Mary , that story is horrendous , and her husband ” mister I have no balls” never did or say anything . Makes my blood boil.
If I remember correctly the cousin was a supervisor in the ot 8 course room when she was on the ship. Horrendous.
But you are right , she would deny it now.

Why use confessional / religious-privileged information? LRH taught to use one tone-level above the person you are communicating. If someone goes rouge in $cn, they feel this is their religious right to attack based on using the Tone Scale to respond (again, one tone level higher in theory). Well… am I right?
I am sure there are countless other policies and references to cite, and that’s the problem. Even LRH countered himself in one book vs. another book, or one policy vs. another. It’s not just a $cn problem, but any religion can be used to cite references to the bias of the situation. But using confidential information and making it public breaks trust, of ex-Scientologists and Scientologists in good standing. That’s why Staff instruct those on course NOT to look on the internet. Atleast its one reason. There is no debate in $cn, which is why any comments are simply ack’d and put into a PC folder for judgement of some C/S. It’s not a democracy. It’s a dictatorship, like N. Korea. Your folder, your case, your issues. Nothing is ever $cn’s fault.
The other thing I noticed in this RB was the financial predatory tactics mentioned of IAS fundraisers by Org Registrars. Fuck that. They are taught to get their stats up at any cost. There is a leaked video on YouTube of Sea Org members saying something like ‘They got money even though they won’t admit it. Don’t feel bad for going after that sh!t’. This is their mindset when fundraising, it’s all or nothing. Your personal donation is the difference between $cn winning or failing, and they stick that pressure of the entire religion succeeding because of your personal donation on you. It’s a damn good tactic if you’re a car salesman. Only the group matters, only the humanitarian façade of ‘good works’ matter, and your pitiful life means nothing when you’re a member of $cn (another otherwise would be Out-1D). This would be a Martin Luther moment for $cn: Don’t accept church donations on credit or debt-sourced.
Peace out, happy holidays everyone. Merry Christmas.

I wish all died in the wool scinos could experience being drugged and sexually assaulted and then tell us they are not emotionally traumatized by these violations of one’s own body. Oh, yeah, ethics handling exists for that. Sooo… why do they think these women came forward many years later to formally accuse their predator? Cuz one doesn’t just move on and forget traumatizing events. Cuz the emotions are not just gone and don’t exist. One needs some sort of processing of them that actually works, some resolution, some justice to help put it behind them so they can move forward with their lives.

scn doesn’t provide that because they think their form of handling fixes all. It doesn’t. Confronting your rapist in front of the officials of CC is not conducive to any form of help, especially when they allow the rapist to mock and make fun of your accusations. The tech does not work when it tries to make it ALL your fault. Good god, this stuff makes it worse!

Emotions and intuition are there to serve us and help us get well over time when we can talk about them. scn negates all emotions unless they are uplifting ones.

How do I know? This same sort of thing is something I endured at CC. Only it was not as awful as rape and I put down the cans and walked away when it came to them trying to blame me for it. This is what the cult does. It’s disgusting and negating and needs to end.

Ah yes, right on the money RB, the true story of those in good standing. What a fun filled life Scientologists must live, always wondering, never quite sure if what they are doing is correct or not & always seeking to make others just like Hubbard said they should be. Being indoctrinated to be scared to question things with their ministers, their faith in the correctness of source is forced fed at every church service they take. Plus the family fun of continuing to find the money to pay for their religion’s safe keeping is considered a 24/7 religious experience by church management. And yet they lie to get out of religious events as easily as we answer the phone. “It’s a beautiful religion”….Tom Cruise. Thanks Computer Guy says, couldn’t have quoted it better myself.
Scientology, lowering intelligence since 1950!

It’s anniversary time folks. Great article RB! So why does the cherch have such horrible Pee Are? Here is one example I will call “The Wake Up Call From Hell” authored by Dave Shit Miscavige.

Little did I know but the 4×4 had already left Target Too and was on it’s way to my forehead and would arrive about 9:45 AM, Friday morning, Dec. 11th, 2009.

On Wednesday, 9 Dec 2009 I had the pleasure of being up until about 3:00 AM talking with the wonnerful Paul Miller at the Flog site. He was ‘sitting in’ for the IAS helping them to meet their ‘Thursday at Too’ target. My wife was ‘happily’ at Flog getting onto her Oh Tea seven. In reality she was burning through 12 intensives of FP ARE DEE (sec checking) trying to solve her dilema. (more on that in a minute) I told Paul ‘NO WAY’ and hung up ….. (after several hours of you know what)

Fast forward to Friday. I get a call from a credit card company asking for a payment. I of course informed them that all balances were paid …… (we did not carry balances in our business which my wife and I owned and had run for 32 years). “Well sir you certainly have a balance on your card”! “What card?!” “blah de blah card”. “How Much?”

4×4 from space enters the room ……. it was traveling at a very high rate of speed …….. it landed ……………..I woke up immediately!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! “Dave. You are running a very, very, very, very unethical business and You are willing to stop at nothing to get money”. (six figures of donos had been going on for over a year without my knowledge)

My poor wife had been convinced that due to the small size of my beingness that she was the one who was going to have to put on the boots and help the cherch lay claim to all my (and her) human labor for eternity (I guess). Paul Miller had told my ex he had had a conversation with me and I had said it was ok!

I wrote an email to her and I was done, fully cooked and knew beyond any shadow that this group would come for me, my wife, my kids, my friends, and everything I had worked for and more and were willing to lie, cheat, steal, third party, destroy reputations and do anything else they deemed appropriate to silence criticism. They did. I have not seen my kids in over five years.

Yo Dave,
Thanks to Your stupidity I am a free man. I feel for my kids, my ex, and all others who are impacted by Your vile group. I will never stop stating the truth about You and Your front group called $cientology and exposing your dirty tricks. You have made an enemy for life Dave. You continue to do so each waking day. Read RB today Dave, that is how you do it. I love contributing to the N Theta so you can explain how Your cult is winning. Go for it good buddy!

Yo Paul,
Are you still ruining lives to earn a few shekels as an IAS Reg? You are truly a sad representation of a human being although You do exemplify the best of the best as a member of the See Ogre. Merry mother fucking Christmas Paul.

To all of the rest of You free beings out here on the fringes …. Have a very merry Christmas season!!!

Coop,l Congrats on your anniversary of getting out of the C of $, But so sad the collateral damage and ripped apart family because of that “church.” I hope you are all reunited some time in the future. My anniversary is around this time too.

I got on the radar when they were heavily recruiting my son for Int Base to work at Gold. I said I would support his decision no matter what it was. (being the goo mom.) I said just make sure you get posted at PAC area and not at Int because I’d never get to see you if you were at Int, and I want to see you on every liberty day you have, which is why I asked for PAC. Well his recruiters told him that was enemy line I could only have gotten from reading “bad” websites, aka Marty Rathbun’s site. So they started investigating me and used my kids and fiends to spy on me and report to them, which they did. Then they got my friend list at FB and sent interrogatories out to every Scn friend asking them to write a KR on me. Just hinting that I was “not in good standing” was enough so that everyone disconnected from me when I was still in good standing.

Then came my daughter’s birthday and my birthday, only 2 days apart, in Nov. We had made reservations at the kids’ favorite restaurant for our joint celebration. The kids didn’t show up, didn’t call, didn’t return my calls. So the first clue I had that they had disconnected came on my birthday when no one said a word and stood me up on our “date.” Next clue I had was a few days before Thanksgiving, both kids called on a conference call from the MAA’s office and verbally disconnected from me without ever having heard “my side of things” or read any of the LRH references I compiled for them. They were too scared to even read LRH.

Next clue I had was after Xmas I got a letter saying I was declared. But there was no goldenrod enclosed in the letter. They don’t want these getting out. A friend asked the org to see it and. “it isn’t ready yet.” So no goldenrod. Then a few months later, maybe in April or May, an OT VIII friend of mine got word of my declare from a gossiping OT VIII in CA who just couldn’t wait to spread the word about me. She couldn’t believe it, so went to her local MAA’s office in UT and asked to read the goldenrod. They had to have it sent from somewhere to them, had it under lock and key, let them read it in a closed and locked room and did not let anyone have a copy of it and certainly not take a picture of it with their phone.

So happy anniversary to me and you, Coop, and to all on the blog here: Merry Christmas. It is devastating to lose both of your kids to the cult, as well as your ex and all friends. That is why we fight to get the cult and David’s sins seen by the world. And thank you to Mike and Leah for the amazing job you are doing and the inroads you are making. Our best revenge is to flourish and prosper and work to get their tax exempt status revoked.

Thank you Coop. I have been impressed at how you have created a better life for yourself after leaving the church. Congrats on your significant other and yes I’ll look you up when I’m in your neck of woods, and you do the same when you’re in Southern CA.

All I can say to dave is that I second what Newcomer said. It is absolutely stunning that members of the See Ogre will fuck over husbands and wives and not only allow but push for them to give money without the other’s knowledge. There really should be a congressional hearing on so many of the church of scientology’s members’ crimes and the ways david miscavige (or LRH policy – I don’t give damn what you call it) gets others to commit crimes against its own members and in a broader sense, against people who have never been in.

It’s been 4 years Thanksgiving, that I got declared a suppressive person and my son convinced through LRH policy how I was evil enough for him to have to disconnect. I’d like to wish Kurt (my MAA) and Alfonso (Dir I and R at the time – think he’s in the RPF now), all regges for the IAS and all OSA staff, Merry fucking Christmas. You all are truly sad representatives of human beings.

Good ole Alfonso. What a piece of work he is. But I reserve the real special place for Jasmine Arellano …………… she has mastered the Hitler youth routine to a tee. With a little luck, maybe she will be twinning with Alphonso on the RPFs RPF!

Newcomer – wow, just wow. Thanks for sharing, didn’t know all of this craziness you went through. What I luv about you is that you’ve managed to keep your sense of humor and this the reason I enjoy all your comments, you ALWAYS crack me up. Happy anniversary, yeah you got out.

Heh. Of course I don’t expect anyone who is still enthralled with COS to draw the simple connection of SMP promises > SMP grand opening > SMP invisibility > Failure > Lies > Scam. But how many of the current few thousands of members are not actually enthralled, but are hanging on for dear life due to the threat of disconnection?

But, you did get your old life back! When I left the Honolulu mission, I went home, grabbed my surfboard & and headed for my favorite surfing spot. I was finally free. And you are too, BK! I celebrate you being out!

According to the tenets of scientology, any wrong you commit can be made right if you go through Ethics handling (with some leeway depending upon your celebrity status, how much money you’ve donated/will continue to donate, and basically, whatever is in the best interest of scientology).

I wonder, if the roles were reversed, and one of these girls brutally committed sexual assault on Masterson, one of their coveted celebrities, would the church have tried to handle this internally and tell Masterson “don’t go to the authorities and let us handle this” and “Danny, what did you do to pull this in on yourself”? Something tells me that wouldn’t have been the case…

I know for a fact auditing sessions are taped and one’s confessions are shared and even used by registrars trying to get more money. Case in point. I’d been “withholding” the fact I had a huge amount of money hidden away in another country and when pressed for overts and withholds in session one day gave that up. About 30 minutes after that session a registrar began pounding on me for a big donation. As I always did before I told the person I had no money and the response was “come on, I know if you looked hard enough you would find it”. The intention behind that statement was totally clear. The person “knew” I had the money but couldn’t say so or the “jig would be up”. The door opened a lot wider and I finally walked through it a few months later.

Glenn, you’re right! I had the registrar use a ruin I had given up in session as the hook to get me to buy more auditing because the auditing “would handle that.” I knew they could only have gotten that info from my pc folder.

Watch the two specials this season — one with Bruce Hines and the other with Mat Pesch. They both recount details about how the supposed separation of regging and tech is a sham. They work hand in hand and always have. Tech feeds information to the Regges constantly.

Well, they didn’t get mine. But I gotta say that with my ex brother and sister in law who are still in …………… they just sold their house and I can only imaging the scene in some LA regges office in the next short while.

Yo Julian,
I was at their driveway as they pulled out with a last load. I wished them well in their future endeavours. But they were pissed at having to sell their house and move because they lived next to an Ess Pee. So what’s up with that big boy? They both have done yer course on how to handle and shatter suppression so why the worry?

…except that the ending would be that the husband would write the wife up for being “disaffected” and they’d have to get that loan to pay for confessionals and rollbacks to find out why she was being “critical”. True story.

Or in my case that the wife needs to divorce the husband because he is an Ess Pee. And BTW, you can’t talk to him (hire an attorney or we will provide one for you) and if you do continue to talk with him to resolve your mandatory divorce your kids will disconnect from you.

And BTW, we know you are feeling poorly so we need an immediate 50k for a brush up to get you winning again. But of course if you don’t have the cash …….. we really don’t give a fuck whether you feel anything at all! And of course, you have got to get off all of the overts you have that caused you to pull this in! That will be another 25 to 50k

Yo Dave,
What have You done to pull all this wonnerful Pee Are in ……. good buddy? You are so brilliant in how You are freeing people and saving the planet. I just cannot figure out why there are so many people out there who say negative things about You and Yer cherch.

Time for a Comic Book drop on Hollywood Blvd. Thanks Mike! So, what do you know about that, Eleanor Simpson, massacre sparker and all around dumb ass? Who “handled” HER afterward? A Curious Monkey wants to know….

Thanks, RB,
I have been out many years and have painfully and successfully reset my self to real-world logic vs Bubble Logic.Side effect: Worsening ability to understand Bubble Logic.
You make me feel as if I still have eyes and ears inside the shrinking bubble where some of my family are still trapped.
Or as LRH would say there are “bodies in pawn.”

But if you recall Eh=Eh, when our favorite Cult ‘pulls it in’ it means something else ……like how much expansion is going on is directly proportional to the ‘N Theta’ appearing.

Now I will add a corollary: How much integrity is being shown is in direct proportion to how many smear sites Dave has created for you. Admittedly, I am down a quart these days so I perhaps need to up my ante!

Yo Dave,
Howz about doin a couple of your fine articles like ‘Cherch discovers truth behind Newcomers motivations for attacking cherch’. His pedophile nature has been verified from testimony from his still-in kids ……

Go for it Dave …………….. and don’t forget to interview ‘the kids’ who are now adults doing Your fine work helping clear the planet.

Yo Julian,
Well the Daniells took a few days longer to get packed up but the van came yesterday so you might as well get the regges circled up for the gang rape. Lots of Oh Tea seven and ate to buy, oiliness tables to slip around on and of course …………. total freedum for eternity. It’s Christmas and You have a tremendous opportunity to give the ultimate gift that keeps on taking. Here is my prediction Julian ……… the family will move out of state to get away from all yer freedum……….. if they can afford it.

We, at Scientology, INC. (actually…1 person – David Miscavige… with the help of criminal con artist – L Ron Hubbard, Founder of $cientology, INC) has convinced you (the degraded being) to tell us all of your sins (real and imagined)…. and promise spiritual freedom…..in exchange….for chasing a carrot on a stick for eternity!

We never have to give you anything in exchange because we have 76 million years of past lives to run out and that gets EXPENSIVE and makes us a shit ton of $$$$$$$$$$$!

and we ($cientology, INC) will keep your sins private as long as you pay and pay and pay and never tell a soul about how criminal we really are).

We will destroy you and your family should you ever decide to tell on us or ask for a refund…..

We are sitting on BILLIONS and will hire private investigators and sleazy, cock roach attorney’s to stalk you and expose anything you do wrong to anyone…..should you not toe the line (See Oh Bee, $ciendollatry, INC)
